Beta-aminoisobutyric acid levels

AGXT2 · rs183958240

What the study found

Who was studied 3,863 Cuban, Central American, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South American ancestry individuals; replicated in 3,149 Cuban, Central American, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South American ancestry individuals, 1,032 African American individuals, 3,775 European ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the G allele shifted the measure 0.811 lower; p = 2 × 10−12.

Where it sits Chromosome 5, band 5p13.2 — in an intron of AGXT2.

What each result means

A/A No copy of the version the research linked to Beta-aminoisobutyric acid levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Beta-aminoisobutyric acid levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G Two copies of the version the research linked to Beta-aminoisobutyric acid levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs183958240

What is rs183958240?

rs183958240 is a single position in the genome, in or near the AGXT2 gene. Published research associates it with beta-aminoisobutyric acid levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs183958240 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs183958240 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Translational psychiatry 2023, PMID:37120436. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
